Crystal’s reselling journey started when she was volunteering with an organization that supplied her local unhoused community with items to last through difficult winters. Someone donated a Burberry coat that wouldn’t serve the unhoused population in harsh weather, but Crystal had an idea: why not sell the item and use the proceeds to buy several more suitable coats for their clients? Crystal really enjoyed reselling items on eBay and started to seriously consider selling online as a full-time career, and met eBay communities full of people with the same idea and passion for thrifting.
